Key facts

Bus 114 from Siena: 1h20, ~7 euro. Limited departures.
By car: 50 minutes via SR2 + SP14. Easier for winery hopping.
Highlights: Fortezza for the view, Brunello tastings, Abbey of Sant'Antimo nearby (15 min by car).
Wine tasting: 20-50 euro at the cantinas; book ahead.
Excellent for serious wine enthusiasts. Less rewarding without wine focus.

What I tell visitors

Brunello at the source costs less than half what it does back home. If you ship a bottle, the cantina will arrange it.
